Giveaway" Myth Exposed
Are The Children Right?
There is something to be said for the intelligence of
Children. Perhaps because they are .not hampered by the
carefuUy-learned compromises of adults, they go straight
to the point. A thing either is, or it isn't. A promise is
a promise and therefore must be kept. A friend is a friend
all the time — or isn't to be classed as a friend. A game
has rules and if you don't play by the rules, you are not
playing the game.
Maybe they do oversimplify — but there is a lot
Of good sense in it. They don't call it compromise, but
they have their own version of it. They call it taking
turns — and they don't believe in any one being "it" all
the time. And the child who tries to evade their rules
Boon hasn't any other children to play with.
I wonder what would happen if grown-ups tried putting
that idea into action. Not from a sense of selfishness or
self-interest, but from a desire for fair play.
Take that club or lodge or union to which you belong.
Do the same people always do all the work? Do the same
people always serve on committees? Do the same people
always take all the credit? Wouldn't it be a far more
effective organization if they took turns — at the work
and at the credit?
Then there is the question of rules — or laws, to
adults. The simplest are probably the traffic rules. What
do you honestly think of the person who is always trying
to get around them? Who thinks if he can get away with
breaking them, then it is alright. Are your children safe
on the streets if such drivers go unchecked? Are you
careful yourself — and do you express your opinion of
those who break these laws?
The same thing applies to everything in our daily
lives . . .even to filling out income tax blanks. We find
excuses for those who dodge the rules of the game. The
